Explicit Rate Adjustment (ERA): Responsiveness, Network Utilization Efficiency and Fairness for Layered Multicast by Somnuk PUANGPRONPITAG, Roger Boyle, Surasak Sanguanpong

“…To provide layered multicast with responsiveness, efficiency in network utilization, scalability and fairness (including inter-protocol fairness, intra-protocol fairness, intra-session fairness and TCP-friendliness) for layered multicast, we propose in this paper a new multicast congestion control, called Explicit Rate Adjustment (ERA). Our protocol uses an algorithm relying on TCP throughput equation and Packet-bunch Probe techniques to detect optimal bandwidth utilization; then adjusts the reception rate accordingly. …”

Estimates of the Land Surface Hydrology from the Community Land Model Version 5 (CLM5) with Three Meteorological Forcing Datasets over China by Dayang Wang, Dagang Wang, Yiwen Mei, Qing Yang, Mingfei Ji, Yuying Li, Shaobo Liu, Bailian Li, Ya Huang, Chongxun Mo

“…In this study, three offline LSM simulations were conducted over China using the Community Land Model version 5.0 (CLM5) driven by different meteorological forcing datasets, namely China Meteorological Forcing Dataset (CMFD), Global Soil Wetness Project Phase 3 (GSWP3), and bias-adjusted ERA5 reanalysis (WFDE5), respectively. Both gridded and in situ reference data, including evapotranspiration (ET), soil moisture (SM), and runoff, were employed to evaluate the performance levels of three CLM5-based simulations across China and its ten basins. …”

Market Reform, Programmatic (De)Alignment and Party System Stability in Latin America by Kenneth M. ROBERTS

“…Market reforms that were adopted by conservative leaders and opposed by a major leftist rival aligned party systems programmatically, allowing societal opposition to be channeled into institutionalized forms of competition that were highly stable in the post-adjustment era. By contrast, «bait-and-switch» reforms adopted by populist or leftist leaders were programmatically de-aligning for party systems, leaving them vulnerable to highly destabilizing reactive sequences in the aftermath to the reform process-including mass social protests, the demise of historic conservative parties, and the outflanking of traditional populist or leftist parties by more radical, anti-neoliberal outsiders. …”

Temporal Trends in Hemoglobin, Use of Erythropoiesis Stimulating Agents, and Major Clinical Outcomes in Incident Dialysis Patients in Canada by Mark Canney, Peter Birks, Selena Shao, Patrick Parfrey, Ognjenka Djurdjev, Adeera Levin

“…After multivariable adjustment, Era 3 (2013–2015) was associated with an 8% relative risk reduction in the primary outcome compared with Era 1 (2007–2009) (hazard ratio [HR] 0.92, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.88–0.96), a 10% relative reduction in mortality (HR 0.90, 95% CI 0.85–0.94) but no significant change in AMI or stroke. …”

Burger, Johanne G. Bloemen

“…Total compliance with the adjusted ERAS protocol was 73.6%. Major complications were present in 12 patients (16.7%), and the median length of hospital stay was 9 days (IQR 6.0–14.0). …”
